Lil Nas X gives gay prison in "Industry Baby", and the straights are mad...again

Lil' Nas's new video for "Industry Baby" is so damn good, because much like "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)", it is giving you a narrative that straight people are responsible for and owning it through a queer lens - just for them to say it's wrong and it's disgusting, thereby highlighting the hypocrisy.

In the video for "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)", Lil Nas X went to hell, which is where everybody been saying all the gays gon' go anyway. And the straights had a problem with it. And in the video for "Industry Baby", Lil Nas X is giving us a music video set in a male prison, where the media has long sensationalised same sex fraternisation in films and TV. And the straights have a problem with it.

Lil Nas dancing in the showers with men and wearing cute jumpsuits is apparently a problem and pushing an agenda. But Lady Gaga dancing in a bra and panties with fellow inmates in the "Telephone" video and women fucking in Orange is the New Black 

HBO had a whole ass show set in a prison where men were fucking and sucking each other left and right, and the main character was in love with that cop with the fat ass in Law & Order - but because it was gritty, 'macho', 'masc' and had fights and men getting shanked, the straights lapped it up. Lady Gaga had a music video set in a prison where she kissed another woman and murdered a whole diner - but nobody said shit. Cardi B had a music video where she kissed another woman, shot a dude, slaughtered a courthouse, was dancing naked in a prison courtyard and then slaughtered her dancers - but nobody said shit. And here's Lil' Nas X in a jail wearing a pink jumpsuit and dancing with men in the shower, in a music video that's very tame - and yet the straights got things to say.

Folk out here pick and choose what to be homophobic about. When queerness is depicted through a queer and proud lens, they hate it. But when it's depicted through a Black queer and proud lens, they REALLY hate it. Some people are only cool with queerness if it's showing distress. Or if it's between women, because it conforms to a gaze that heteronormativity has deemed acceptable.

I'd have more respect for people if they just said they hate Black cis-gendered male queerness, instead of trying to veil their homophobia as concerns against humanity. These people clearly feel that their outrage will help suppress the queer that many of them having lurking within. Because it really is easy to just not watch Lil Nas X's videos, unless you like going out of your way to watch them. His music videos aren't being shoved down throats and in people's faces as much as 'straights' like to proclaim.

Let a guy dance in his little gay ass prison in peace.

And Lil Nas X is also catching heat because he didn't have Jack Harlow bussin' down in the showers with him and the girls.

Pickin' and choosing y'all.
